Jeannie Bath, DDS (also known as the Tooth Fairy) began telling the story of The Three Little Teeth to kids in elementary schools so they could learn how to keep their mouths healthy.

Delta Dental of Oklahoma blogs the backstory:
Dr. Jeannie Bath, Dental Director at Good Shepherd Ministries OKC, has been telling the story of The Three Little Teeth to students for many years. Now, with the help of her brother, Jameson McGee, the story has been illustrated and published.
Since receiving her DDS from the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry in 2000 Dr. Bath has provided dental care to many communities through private practice, extensive volunteerism and she was even a dentist for the US Army in Germany. In 2010, Dr. Bath agreed to do a dentist visit to her oldest child’s pre-K class.
